The municipal solid waste management sector is a nationally significant greenhouse gas source in Sri Lanka, yet decision makers lack comprehensive, city-level life-cycle assessment of full waste management chains. This study quantifies and compares g...

Coastal marine sediments and beach sands receive microbial and genetic inputs from wastewater discharge, urban runoff, aquaculture, wildlife, and recreational activity, yet their role as coupled microbial–genetic interfaces linking environmenta...

This article provides the first comprehensive description and assessment of environmental changes in a unique natural transboundary region—South-Eastern Altai, which is located in the arid territories of Russia and Mongolia. This region of Asia...

PET biodegradation remains limited due to its intrinsic properties—high crystallinity, hydrophobicity, and strong chemical stability. These characteristics lead to extremely slow degradation rates and contribute to PET’s persistence in th...

One-step hydrothermal synthesis of zeolites is a common synthesis technology for zeolites. Las-NaP1 zeolite was synthesized with fly ash (FA) as the silica-alumina source under low-alkalinity conditions for aqueous adsorption. Furthermore, H-NaP1 mod...

This study explores the physicochemical properties and microbiological community structure of oil-contaminated soils from Midrand and Roodepoort, South Africa. Due to sample pooling, the analysis provides a composite profile for investigating site-sp...
